Last night, someone gwethed in Crossing about a Gorbesh Catapult Basket. He wanted to know the going rate on them. I warned him that
there were the old ones, that held a ton, and the newer ones from Droughtman's wagon that did not. He asked if there was a way to
tell the difference. I told him that since they basically look the same, you'd have to fill the container up to tell if it was old or new. Which we all know is not very realistic when you're buying or selling. His suggestion was that traders should have the ability to appraise for size. I thought this was a wonderful concept. I can't tell you how many times I've sold a container (backpack, rucksack, sack, case, whatever...) and the buyer wanted to know how much it held. My only information for them was based on whether or not I had used the item and knew how much it held.

Thanks for listening,

Awesome idea on both parts, the container size and the weapon sizing.

Yes I agree it'd be great for all guilds to do this (even if not a trader I should be able to look at two backpacks and tell which one is bigger), but would settle for it being a trader ability.
